Page Background

• In

postoperative cases

, IMRT use

should be considered

. To demonstrate

preferred patient reported outcomes, participation on the RTOG/GOG 1203

TIME-C trial is encouraged.

• In

intact cases

, the use of IMRT should be

limited to IRB-approved

protocols

secondary to additional planning concerns.

Consensus guidelines

exist as to contouring both postoperative and

intact cases, and should be utilized. However,

changes are in progress

,

secondary to concerns as noted above, and appropriate care

should be taken during treatment planning, which may require patient

specific adjustments

.

IGRT

should be utilized when IMRT is implemented secondary to

the significant inter-fraction variability that can occur.
